Still no news of your interview date? You guys should be done by now :wow:

Ghana is very far behind. We had CC March 2nd but we more than likely will not have an interview date until July or August. If we get an interview date soon we will be very happy. We just patiently wait. :)

That's why I think, but they really want the original, but as she got approved yesterday, ....

Six days to go for interview. I did get the children expedited to do interview at the same time. Where has the time flown....I pray all our vjers family the best of luck that we all get approvals. This is such a family site...Dwheels at the helm guiding and informing. God will see us through that we can get this process over with and finally be with our spouses as a family.
